Three female ODs spoke at the Women In Optometry Leadership Conference, called "Leadership Unleashed," held during the American Academy of Optometry meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana, in November 2024. Hear how Jade Coats, OD, FAAO; Essence Johnson, OD, FAAO, Dipl ABO; and Mila Ioussifova, OD, CNS, FAAO, FOWNS, have tapped into their inner leader at various times in their careers. 

Dr. Coats spoke about how she is realizing her professional impact as a young OD; Dr. Johnson talked about those who have influenced her to make an impact on her community; and Dr. Ioussifova brought the two ideas together to show how unleashing leadership can result in personal impact and growth, too.
